A Week in the Life of a Language and Linguistics Student
I’m a second year French and Linguistics student. The first thing I have to say about this degree is that it really isn’t like many other French degrees out there. At some universities studying French basically means you spend your life with your head in French books. As much as that sounds fun, my degree…

Day in the life of a Natural Sciences Student
The typical day of a Natural Sciences student is rather full, but it’s so varied. 7am: time to organise I’m an early riser, and I like to be up 2 hours before lectures start so I have time to get my brain working. I make breakfast, and a packed lunch if I need it, then…

My course is quite similar to Accounting, Business Finance and Management, and there are a lot of places where the courses overlap.

Day in the life of a Natural Scientist
9am – morning lecture I’ll try and be as honest as I can here. As a natural scientist student, you’ll get used to early mornings!! Studying multiple subjects means that your timetable is always pretty busy, so lie-ins are few and far between. A 9am lecture over in chemistry starts the day. We share all…

What it’s like to study Computer Science at York
Modules and lectures As a Computer Science student, my typical week starts off with lectures. First year Computer Science students have about 16 hours of lectures & practicals sessions per week which is above the average and means we have less learning to do on our own. Our modules (uni word for ‘subject’) include ICAR…
